2 Claims. 1

My invention relates to those processes for the "manufacturing of clothing which use already established contour designs obtained by any method of reproduction, as patterns, for example.

Home manufacturers use patterns made of paper and containing many printed details for the purpose of rendering their-use easier.

"These patterns usually have to be pinned on the material before cutting, which process is not practical as the material slides under the paper and brings imperfections and :loss of time. Further, after the material is cut the provisory assembling of the different parts along their corresponding contours is a diflicult operation.

My invention has the object to avoid these difficulties by using designs having adhesive outlines obtained by method of reproduction over the material itself. For this reproduction I use generally a marginal outline of adhesive material made over paper which represents an adhesively secured pattern. The pattern is opened over the cloth material and pressed over it to permit an easy cutting along the contours. After detaching the paper pattern from the cloth parts, the marginal outline of adhesive material that was on the paper pattern adheres to the cloth parts and remains sticky to permit adjoining cloth parts in the garment to be adhesively joined along corresponding marginal outlines to facilitate the sewing together of these cloth parts.

In the accompanying drawings are shown:

Fig. 1 is the front half of an adhesive type of paper pattern and Fig. 1A is the rear view thereof.

Fig. 2 a cloth part provided with a marginal outline of adhesive material and covered with isolating paper partly detached.

Fig. 3 a detail of two corresponding contour parts of different marginal length contours which are to be joined together.

The left part of Fig. 1 represents the half of a blouse pattern on which are printed in common ink the contour lines for the cutting l, and also details for manufacturing such as 2a, the left part of the blouse, 2b the back part, the left hem, 2d the arrow pleat, 2e the rear hem, etc. On the back side of the pattern represented by Fig. 1A are applied, by methods of spraying, printing or others, a narrow band of adhesive materia1 forming the marginal lines 3 of the different parts of the blouse.

If this pattern is delivered to customers in form of a roll, the paper will have advantageously on the top side a smooth or oily surface and on the back side a rough surface over which adherebetter.

the adhesive substance is easier to apply and After pressing with :a hot iron the pattern over the front surface of the :cloth material, as is readily apparent from .Fig. 1 the cutting. is

done along line I which is generally outside 501 the adhesive contour line, this being done for the purpose of obtaining clean work. the pattern will be removed from the material which retains most of the adhesive substance onthe front surface. After :making the hems by Pl a-I ing the material along the adhesive lines the other corresponding contour parts will be stuck together for the assembling of the clothing.

To avoid mistakes I, use adhesive contour lines which have matching marks 4, of difierent forms or colors, disposed preferably on the outside of the adhesive center line. These marks are done with the substance itself or with other products.

Besides the contour lines, other adhesive lines or surfaces can be used for making pleats at any part of the cloth. In Fig. 1A I represent a. triangular surface of adhesive substance 5 which is used for making an arrow pleat by folding the cloth material along the vertical center line of the triangular surface. The assembled clothing parts are sewed together along a line distance of about /8 inch from the adhesive contour border which can then be cut off or dissolved by washing with a liquid which does not damage the clothing.

Those adhesive pattern designs can be made and reproduced over any kind of sheet material like cellophane, cloth and others.

Any water soluble or thermoplastic adhesive, such as ordinary glue, will do.

The cloth of the garment itself can be sold already impressed with adhesive contour lines and delivered in sheets covered with an isolating paper over which could be printed the lines of cutting and other details.

This process of home manufacturing can be further simplified by delivering to customers clothing parts provided with adhesive contour lines, covered with isolating paper and already cut with a mechanical process.

Such a clothing part is represented in Fig. 2 in which 6 is the material, 1 the adhesive contour line, 8 the isolating paper. For facilitating the removal of this paper I use radial disposed perforating lines 9 having an opening at the center In.

For the purpose of rendering the manufacturing easier especially for those contour parts which are of different lengths and must be pleated attached to each other and presenting the onea surface completely covered with adhesive substance, the other cuts having the form of the by engaging the corresponding marginal edges contour designs.

Further, it is obvious that pattern could be manufactured by cutting adhesive paper along a contour design.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:

the adhesive paper 1. The method of manufacturing a completed article from its component parts made of sheet :material having front and back surfaces, which comprises impressing a pattern having an outline of the desired shape and a marginal area of readily removable adhesive material formed on the rear surface thereof to the front surface only "of the sheet material, transferring the adhesive material to the sheet material, cutting the sheet material into the shape of the pattern forming the part. assembling the parts together into the "shape of the completed article by engaging the corresponding front marginal surfaces containing the adhesive material and thereafter permanently securing the marginal portions of the parts together.

2. The method of manufacturing a completed article from its component parts made of sheet material which comprises transferring. adhesive material of the readily removable type to the marginal area of the part from the marginal area on the rear surface of a pattern outlining the shape of the part, assembling the parts together into the shape of the completed article by means of the adhesive material, and thereafter permanently securing the marginal portions of the parts together.
